Sony Corp. has moved to soften worries about backwards compatibility issues in the European PlayStation 3 (PS3) console, set to launch in PAL territories on Friday. The hardware (emotion engine) that provided support for PS2 titles was removed and replaced with a software emulation solution instead. Sony had previously said the console will support 1000 older titles at launch.
"If your game is not listed here, emulation is not yet supported on PlayStation 3," The backwards compatibility website, which can be found here, reads. "We will be adding additional titles to this list in future firmware upgrades," added David Reeves, President of Sony Computer Entertainment.
